Panhellenic Council
The primary recruitment process is an opportunity for women to meet all the Panhellenic sororities on Michigan State's campus. Each day women visit with chapters to learn more about their sisterhood, philanthropy and values. Women return to chapters based on a mutual selection process.
Michigan State's Panhellenic sororities admit new members at the beginning of the fall and spring semester. It is important to note every chapter is only required to participate in the Fall Formal Recruitment process. Chapters choose to participate in spring based on chapter size and campus totals.
To participate in the recruitment process women must be enrolled in MSU classes, and on university good standing the semester they join.
